this time but was in the same state OF mlno
as he was last winter-didn't know what to
do. He thought the city attorney should be
instructed to correspond with the depart
ment of the interior and $50 II the control
of the river was solely In the
governments hands, II it was
they should be informed Of the
greatness of the city and Greatness OF dan
ger II twas matter for the city to de-
termine then the city would attend to it post
haste.
The city attorney seemed to think that the
question was complicated one and there
would be some trouble in getting it settled.
If the parties who we're Filling in" were no
titled by the city to quit such work they
might deny the city having any power to do
so and continue their work with more vigor
than ever. OF course if the city started on
any action it ought to be prepared to do
more than mere bluff game. 1t ought to
be able to stop them legally. 1t was unnec-
essary to say that those parties would not
stop of their own accord, real estate was too
near gold dollars to quit snap Of that kind.
AS a result Of their persistent action to build
additions some law would have to be found
which would apply to their case. Where
United States law and state law would ap-
ply was the difficult question.
Mr. Buckridgs stated that quite number
Of his constituents had spoken to him about
the question and he was thoroughly con-

diately if not sooner. It not only greatly
endangered the Second ward but the entire
city and should be attended to Immediately.
Mr. Derby was of the opinion that it would
be woe TO the council who was in power when
the high water came.
Mr.. Harris thought it about time for the
people to begin to get scared. The big
rains lately coming at this season
when the snow was melting in the mountains
was enough to make the observing man a
little excited. The other flood found the
water nineteen inches deep in the Occidental
hotel.
The entire council agreed that something
ought to be done, but what that something
1t was finally decided to continue the special
committee and instructed the city attorney
to correspond with the department Of the
interior and learn what could be done.
The notes for the executive session were
taken at long range and probably the pencil
snapped some times leaving breakes. Coun-
Gil adjourned after midnight with the i'm
preston of having done something powerful
secret. The telephone was open-pointer.
